Recent studies have indicated a decline in sperm number in the western world during the past 50 years, sperm concentration changing from 113 to 66 millions per mL. Furthermore, significant geographical differences in male reproductive function have been observed. In Finland, the sperm concentration was found to be substantially higher than in Denmark. In parallel, the incidence of testicular cance
Facial beat gestures align with pitch accents in speech, functioning as visual prominence markers. However, it is not yet well understood whether and how gestures and pitch accents might be combined to create different types of multimodal prominence, and how specifically visual prominence cues are used in spoken communication. In this study, we explore the use and possible interaction of eyebrow (Facial beat gestures align with pitch accents in speech, functioning as visual prominence markers.

Much of biology happens at the protein-water interface, so all dynamical processes in this region are of fundamental importance. Local structural fluctuations in the hydration layer can be probed by 17O magnetic relaxation dispersion (MRD), which, at high frequencies, measures the integral of a biaxial rotational time correlation function (TCF) - the integral rotational correlation time. Numerous
Background Abiraterone acetate (AA) prolongs survival in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. To measure treatment response accurately in bone, quantitative methods are needed. The Bone Scan Index (BSI), a prognostic imaging biomarker, reflects the tumour burden in bone as a percentage of the total skeletal mass calculated from bone scintigraphy. Objective To evaluate
Purpose: Many centers aim to plan liver transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with dosimetry, even without CT-based attenuation correction (AC), or with unoptimized scatter correction (SC) methods. This work investigates the impact of presence vs absence of such corrections, and limited spatial resolution, on 3D dosimetry for TARE. Methods: Three voxelized phantoms were derived from CT images of
The Swedish Antarctic Research Expedition named “SWEDARP” was performed during October 1988 through April 1989. The aim of our project was to study the radioactivity in air and water from Gothenburg to the Antarctic. Between Gothenburg and the Equator, the average activity concentration of 7Be in air was 4.3 ± 0.7 mBq/m3. The activity concentration of 7Be in the South Atlantic down to Antarctica v
Identification and isolation of cardiomyocytes from the heart, embryonic stem cells, or induced pluripotent stem cells is a challenging task and will require specific isolation techniques. Less than 30% of the cells within the murine heart are cardiomyocytes and, what is more, there are multiple sub-populations of cardiomyocytes like atrial, ventricular and conduction system cardiomyocytes. In Pap
The timing of the ice margin retreat of the Late Glacial Patagonian Ice Sheet (PIS) in southern Patagonia has been the object of discussion for many years. In order to resolve questions about the complex response of the PIS to past climate change, any geological interpretation and data modelling need evaluation against an absolute chronology. The aim of this project is to investigate the applicabi
Bestämmelser om tvångslikvidation vid kapitalbrist har funnits i svensk aktiebolagsrätt sedan 1895 års ABL. Idag stadgas reglerna i 25 kap. 13-20§§ ABL. Det som fastslås i ABL skiljer sig från liknande stadgor i övriga Europa, detta är något som väcker frågor. Stadgandet i 25 kap. 13-20§§ ABL ställer upp åligganden för ett bolags styrelsemedlemmar. Dessa åligganden sanktioneras med ett personligThe provisions on compulsory winding-up due to capital shortage have been found in the Swedish corporate law since 1895. Today the rules are stipulated in Chapter 25, Section 13-20 in The Swedish Corporate Act (ABL). What is set in ABL differs from similar laws in other European countries and this raises some questions. The provisions in Chapter 25, Section 13-20 ABL sets up duties for the member
Differences in technological traditions we find between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans has long been debated. It is important to discuss whether the differences in the handling of flint and other raw materials between the two populations . The use of raw materials are obviously directly related to the production of tools used to acquire food . Besides the quality of the material, also
This thesis proposes an alternative way of comparing the performance of private equity funds and testing if they through active involvement can increase the value of their investments. Resent studies has shown that the true performance of Private Equity funds are about the same as the markets return so by measuring the performance of the companies that most resemble the private equity firms actual
Under de senaste decennierna har den personliga integriteten diskuterats i samband med flera lagstiftningsåtgärder i svensk rätt, inte minst i samband med ny lagstiftning inom straff- och straffprocessrätten. Flera straffrätts- bestämmelser har införts för att skydda den personliga integriteten mellan enskilda. Parallellt med denna utveckling har brottsbekämpande myndigheter tillgodosetts med nya In recent decades, personal integrity has been discussed in connection with several legislative measures in Swedish law, especially concerning new legislative measures in penal law and criminal procedure law. Several penal law measures have come into force to protect individuals’ privacy. At the same time, law enforcement agencies have been provided with new secret coercive measures which means th

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to fill the research gap as previous research on the topic of interest lacks a country specific research on how culture effects standardization vs. adaptation by MNCs in emergent markets, in context to a specific advertising strategy. By providing a unique cross-cultural study on five different emergent markets (China, Pakistan, Mexico, Turkey and CWAR) the re
When it comes to absorbing and emitting radiation, molecules show similar properties as atoms do. A signicant dierence though, is that a molecular spectrum consists of notably more absorption lines compared to an atomic spectrum. The additional lines appear due to the fact that molecules can not only exist in electronic, but also in vibrational and rotational energy states. Each gas has uniquely d
Företagens intressenter har ökat betydligt då allt fler privatpersoner sparar i aktier eller fonder, vilket även ökat deras behov av information. Årsredovisningen utgör sannolikt den viktigaste länken i den information om ett företag som olika intressentgrupper förfogar över för analys. Investerare efterfrågar information så att de kan värdera företagen och ta investeringsbeslut. Ett incitament fö

Var fjärde person blir i dag sjuk till följd av sitt arbete. Att höja pensionsåldern för alla yrkesgrupper, utan konkreta åtgärder för att minska ohälsan, är därför problematiskt och mycket oroande. Det är, enligt forskarna, inte långsiktigt samhällsekonomiskt lönsamt att utan andra åtgärder höja pensionsåldern för alla. Vi – 54 forskare – är mycket oroade över konsekvenserna av att, som föreslagi
